Coinfest - the first decentralized decentralized currency convention. It was conceived as a way to incentivize cryptocurrency acceptance, while educating the public about its importance and use. This Bitcoin enthusiasts event started in Vancouver, Canada has now gone global and will also be held in Tallinn this year on the 21st of February at Mektory!
